The exciting news reached us in an article from IGN, which notes that the updated Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic application will be optimized for the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, and fifth-generation iPod touch, as well as for the iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Air, and both iterations of the iPad mini.

That's not all, however. Because the updated application will also take advantage of Apple's Retina display through the addition of improved visuals, bloom lighting (for Apple A7-powered iDevices), and shadows; there'll be 4-inch screen support for the iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, and fifth-generation iPod touch, too.

IGN explains: “To support the wider resolution, the user interface has been tweaked to take advantage of the larger screen space.”

Finally, one “experimental” feature that could make its way to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is iOS 7 game controller support. Though this aspect of the app update is very much a work in progress, IGN adds.
